CLOUD BASICS
![Page 12: Nonprofits in the Cloud](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060109/555954c9d8b42a98708b482b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CLOUD CONFUSION
One in five Americans (22 percent) admit that they’ve pretended to know what the cloud is or how it works.
When asked what “the cloud” is, a
majority responded it’s either an actual cloud (specifically a
“fluffy white thing”), the sky or
something related to the weather (29
percent).
Working from home in their “birthday suit” is the cloud’s greatest advantage.

3 TYPES OF CLOUD
Software-as-a-Service
Software you access through the Internet
e.g. Gmail, Salesforce, Survey Monkey
Platform-as-a-Service
Online environment for building software
e.g. Force.com, Microsoft Azure
Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Servers and storage in the cloud
e.g. Amazon Web Services

FOR EXAMPLE… SHARING DOCS WITH YOUR BOARD

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I DO NOW?
The cloud is particularly good for:
Sharing Everyone shares one version of a doc
Collaborating Makes it easier to work together with others
Remote working Work from anywhere (with Internet)
Scaling Add/remove more people/space on the go

ANOTHER BENEFIT: SIMPLER ADMINISTRATION

A WORD ABOUT PRIVACY
In almost all cases there is no law against using cloud computing Up to you to read the Terms of Service You are responsible for your data at the end of the day
Avoid using cloud/be extra careful for political or extremely sensitive data e.g. political activists, women’s shelters
